Division Facts 0-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A baker divides 50 cookies into bags of 8. How many cookies are left over?
A) 0
B) 2
C) 4
D) 6
Six bags of 8 use 48 cookies (6 x 8 = 48). That leaves 50 − 48 = 2 cookies as the remainder.
2. Which number sentence is in the same fact family as 8 x 5 = 40?
A) 40 ÷ 4 = 10
B) 40 ÷ 5 = 8
C) 40 ÷ 10 = 4
D) 40 ÷ 2 = 20
A fact family uses the same three numbers. Since 8 x 5 = 40 uses 8, 5, and 40, its division partner 40 ÷ 5 = 8 uses the exact same numbers.
3. What is the quotient in the division sentence 56 ÷ 8 = 7?
A) 56
B) 8
C) 7
D) 1
The quotient is the answer to a division problem — the number after the equals sign. In 56 ÷ 8 = 7, that is 7.
4. Leo has 43 toy cars. He lines them up in rows of 6. How many cars do not fit in a full row?
A) 1
B) 3
C) 5
D) 7
Seven full rows hold 42 cars (7 x 6 = 42). That leaves 43 − 42 = 1 extra car that does not fit in a full row.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. In the sentence 45 ÷ 5 = 9, the number 5 is called the divisor
The divisor is the number you divide by — the one right after the ÷ sign. In 45 ÷ 5 = 9, that number is 5.
2. When you divide 26 by 3, the remainder is 2
Eight groups of 3 make 24. Taking 24 from 26 leaves 2 extras, which is the remainder.
3. A zookeeper feeds 63 fish to 9 penguins equally. Each penguin gets 7 fish.
Share 63 fish evenly among 9 penguins: 63 ÷ 9 = 7, because 9 x 7 = 63.
4. If 10 x 6 = 60, then 60 ÷ 10 = 6
Division is the opposite of multiplication. Since 10 x 6 builds 60, splitting 60 back into 10 groups gives 6 in each.
5. In the sentence 72 ÷ 8 = 9, the number 72 is the dividend
The dividend is the total being split up — the number before the ÷ sign. In 72 ÷ 8 = 9, that number is 72.
